5 Minor Arc Part of a circle. The measure of the central angle is less than 180. C T A November 11, 2018

6 Semicircle Half of a circle. The endpoints of the arc are the endpoints of a diameter. The central angle measures 180. C A T D November 11, 2018

7 Major Arc Part of a circle. The measure of the central angle is greater than 180. C T A D November 11, 2018

8 Major Arc C BUT NOT T A D November 11, 2018

9 Measuring Arcs An arc has the same measure as the central angle.
We say, “a central angle subtends an arc of equal measure”. A 42 42 B C November 11, 2018

10 Measuring Major Arcs The measure of an major arc is given by 360  measure of minor arc. 42 A B C D November 11, 2018
